A local church is trying to keep the faith after a trusted parishioner is accused of molesting a boy in the church parking lot.

The Pasco County sheriff fears Huiell “Derk” Denton may have more victims.

The Adult Sunday School teacher is accused of groping and kissing a fellow parishioner, an 11-year-old boy, outside Calvary Baptist Church of Holiday. This isn’t the first time he’s been accused of a similar crime.

“Both of these families, and it doesn’t just affect those two families, but the whole church are suffering right now,” says Pastor Doug Kirk from Calvary Baptist.
